Root Explanation

Tagboard → The word is formed from "tag" (from Old Norse *taggr*, meaning a label or marker) and "board" (from Old English *bord*, meaning a flat piece of material). Together, these parts describe a flat surface used for displaying labels or markers.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'label' ('tag') placed on a 'flat surface' ('board') — that's what tagboard is used for.
